[0059] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings for the embodiments of the present disclosure to make a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure and not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present disclosure generally described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present disclosure, but only represents selected embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0060] Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in the present disclosure should have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this present disclosure belongs. The terms "first", "second", and similar terms used in the present disclosure do not imply any order, quantity, or importance, but are used to distinguish different components. Similarly, the terms "one", "a", or "the" and similar terms do not denote the number restriction, but mean that there is at least one. The terms "include", "comprise", and similar terms mean that the elements or objects before the term encompass the elements or objects listed after the term and their equivalents, and do not exclude other elements or objects. The terms "connect" or "connected" and similar terms are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. The terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", and the like are only used to represent relative positional relationships, and when the absolute positions of the described objects are changed, the relative positional relationships may also be changed accordingly.
[0061] In the present disclosure, "a plurality of or several" means two or more. The term "and / or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which can represent the following three cases: A exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after it.
[0062] In the related art, the carrier transport path in the Tandem device includes: in the first light-emitting unit, holes are transported from the anode to the first light-emitting layer; and electrons are transported from the interface between the N-CGL layer and the P-CGL layer to the first light-emitting layer. In the second light-emitting unit, holes are transported from the interface between the N-CGL layer and the P-CGL layer to the second light-emitting layer; and electrons are transported from the cathode to the first light-emitting layer. However, a hole blocking layer is often arranged between the N-CGL layer and the first light-emitting layer, which is a combination of one or more organic layers, mainly used for transporting electrons and blocking holes; in addition, when the hole blocking layer is in direct contact with the N-CGL layer, it is also used to block the metal ions doped in the N-CGL layer to prevent the migration of metal ions, so there is a large energy level barrier between the hole blocking layer and the N-CGL layer, resulting in a low electron transport rate. At the same time, the hole transport material currently used has a faster hole transport speed and a higher hole injection efficiency, which causes an imbalance in the transport rates of holes and electrons, ultimately leading to the inability of holes and electrons to recombine in the first light-emitting layer or a small recombination area, thereby affecting the luminous efficiency and service life of the light-emitting device.
[0063] In view of this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a light-emitting device which substantially eliminates one or more of the problems caused by the limitations and defects of the related art.
[0064] Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of the light-emitting device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 1 The light-emitting device includes an anode 1, a cathode 2, a plurality of light-emitting units arranged between the anode 1 and the cathode 2, and a charge generation separation unit 4 arranged between adjacent light-emitting units. Among them, the plurality of light-emitting units at least includes a first light-emitting unit 31 and a second light-emitting unit 32, and the first light-emitting unit 31 is closer to the anode 1 than the second light-emitting unit 32. That is, the light-emitting device of the present disclosure is a Tandem OLED device, which has the advantages of high efficiency and high brightness.
[0065] Figure 2 A subunit schematic diagram of the light-emitting unit provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 1 The first light-emitting unit 31 includes a first light-emitting layer EML1 and a first hole transport subunit 311 arranged near the anode 1 of the first light-emitting layer EML1; and the second light-emitting unit 32 includes a second light-emitting layer EML2 and a second hole transport subunit 321 arranged near the anode 1 of the second light-emitting layer EML2. Among them, the first hole transport subunit 311 is mainly used for transporting holes generated by the anode 1 or the charge generation separation unit 4 to improve the hole transport efficiency. The second hole transport subunit 321 is mainly used for transporting holes generated by the charge generation separation unit 4 to improve the hole transport efficiency.
[0066] As shown in Figure 2 The first light-emitting unit 31 further comprises a first electron transport sub-unit 312 arranged on the side of the first light-emitting layer EML1 close to the cathode 2; and the second light-emitting unit 32 further comprises a second electron transport sub-unit 322 arranged on the side of the second light-emitting layer EML2 close to the cathode 2. The first electron transport sub-unit 312 is mainly used for transporting the electrons generated by the charge generation and separation unit 4, so as to improve the electron transport efficiency; and the second electron transport sub-unit 322 is mainly used for transporting the electrons generated by the cathode 2, so as to improve the electron transport efficiency.
[0067] For example, the plurality of light-emitting units comprises one first light-emitting unit 31 and one second light-emitting unit 32. For another example, the plurality of light-emitting units comprises a plurality of first light-emitting units 31 and one second light-emitting unit 32. In the case of comprising a plurality of first light-emitting units 31 and one second light-emitting unit 32, the thickness of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of at least part of the first light-emitting units 31 is greater than the thickness of the second hole transport sub-unit 321 of the second light-emitting unit 32.
[0068] For example, the light-emitting device comprises one first light-emitting unit 31, one charge generation and separation unit 4 and one second light-emitting unit 32. Under the action of an electric field, the anode 1 generates holes, and the cathode 2 generates electrons; the charge generation and separation unit 4 also generates holes and electrons, and separates them. The holes generated by the anode 1 are transported to the first light-emitting layer EML1 through the first hole transport sub-unit 311, and the electrons generated by the charge generation and separation unit 4 can be transported to the first light-emitting layer EML1 through the first electron transport sub-unit 312; and the holes generated by the charge generation and separation unit 4 are transported to the second light-emitting layer EML2 through the second hole transport sub-unit 321, and the electrons generated by the cathode 2 can be transported to the second light-emitting layer EML2 through the second electron transport sub-unit 322. The holes and electrons migrate to the first light-emitting layer EML1 (or the second light-emitting layer EML2), and excitons are generated by recombination in the first light-emitting layer EML1 (or the second light-emitting layer EML2), and the excitons radiate light by jumping transition.
[0069] Figure 3 A specific structure diagram of a carrier transport sub-unit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. For example, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the first hole transport sub-unit 311 includes at least a first hole transport layer HTL1, the second hole transport sub-unit 321 includes at least a second hole transport layer HTL2, the first electron transport sub-unit 312 includes at least a first hole blocking layer HBL1, and the second electron transport sub-unit 322 includes at least a second hole blocking layer HBL2. The first hole blocking layer HBL1 is a combination of one or more organic layers, mainly used for transporting electrons and blocking holes; in addition, when the first hole blocking layer HBL1 is in direct contact with the charge generation and separation unit 4, it is also used to block the metal ions doped in the charge generation and separation unit 4, preventing the migration of metal ions, so there is a large energy level barrier between the first hole blocking layer HBL1 and the charge generation and separation unit 4, resulting in a low electron transport rate.
[0070] The thickness of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of the first light emitting unit 31 is greater than the thickness of the second hole transport sub-unit 321 of the second light emitting unit 32 in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present disclosure adjust the thickness of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 and / or the thickness of the second hole transport sub-unit 321, for example, increase the thickness of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of the first light emitting unit 31, so that the thickness of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 is greater than the thickness of the second hole transport sub-unit 321, that is, the hole transport path of the anode 1→the first light emitting layer EML1 is increased, so as to reduce the hole transport rate of the first hole transport sub-unit 311, thereby balancing the hole transport rate of the anode 1→the first light emitting layer EML1 and the electron transport rate of the charge generation and separation unit 4→the first light emitting layer EML1, so as to ensure that holes and electrons recombine in the first light emitting layer EML1, and further ensure the light emitting stability of the light emitting device.
[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the charge generation and separation unit 4 includes an N-type doped charge generation layer N-CGL and a P-type doped charge generation layer P-CGL arranged in sequence away from the anode 1; the surface of the N-type doped charge generation layer N-CGL in contact with the P-type doped charge generation layer P-CGL is a first surface; the surface of the first light emitting layer EML1 close to the N-type doped charge generation layer N-CGL is a second surface, and the distance between the first surface and the second surface is a first distance L1. Here, the first distance L1 can be understood as the transmission distance of the electrons generated by the charge generation and separation unit 4, that is, the length of the electron transport path from the starting point of generation to the first light emitting layer EML1.
[0072] Because the materials of the light emitting layers of different color light emitting devices are different, the materials of the sub-film layers in the first hole transport sub-unit 311 can be different, so the hole mobility and the energy level difference between the film layers corresponding to different color light emitting devices are different.
[0073] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the distance between the film layers in the light-emitting device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, when the light-emitting device is a red light-emitting device R, the ratio of the thickness R_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 to the first distance L1 is between 6 and 10. The embodiments are directed to the first light-emitting unit 31 corresponding to the red light-emitting device R, and the distance of the hole transport path and the distance of the electron transport path in the first light-emitting unit 31 are adjusted in coordination. The ratio of the thickness R_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 to the first distance L1 is between 6 and 10, thereby ensuring the transmission balance of the carriers (holes and electrons) in the red light-emitting device R.
[0074] Specifically, when the light-emitting device is a green light-emitting device G, the ratio of the thickness G_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 to the first distance L1 is between 5 and 8. The embodiments are directed to the first light-emitting unit 31 corresponding to the green light-emitting device G, and the distance of the hole transport path and the distance of the electron transport path in the first light-emitting unit 31 are adjusted in coordination. The ratio of the thickness G_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 to the first distance L1 is between 5 and 8, thereby ensuring the transmission balance of the carriers (holes and electrons) in the green light-emitting device G.
[0075] Specifically, when the light-emitting device is a blue light-emitting device B, the ratio of the thickness B_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 to the first distance L1 is between 4 and 6. The embodiments are directed to the first light-emitting unit 31 corresponding to the blue light-emitting device B, and the distance of the hole transport path and the distance of the electron transport path in the first light-emitting unit 31 are adjusted in coordination. The ratio of the thickness B_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 to the first distance L1 is between 4 and 6, thereby ensuring the transmission balance of the carriers (holes and electrons) in the blue light-emitting device B.
[0076] In a possible implementation, as shown in FIG. 1, when the light-emitting device is a red light-emitting device R, the thickness R_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 is between 170 nm and 230 nm. Compared with the prior art (the thickness of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of the red light-emitting device R is about 65 nm), this implementation increases the thickness R_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of the red light-emitting device R, that is, the length of the hole transport path, to reduce the hole transport rate, thereby balancing the transport rates of holes and electrons, making them recombine in the first light-emitting layer REML1, and ensuring the light-emitting stability of the red light-emitting device R. Figure 4 Optionally, the thickness R_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 is 170 nm, 200 nm, or 230 nm.
[0077] In a possible implementation, as shown in FIG. 1, when the light-emitting device is a green light-emitting device G, the thickness G_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 is between 150 nm and 200 nm. Compared with the prior art (the thickness of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of the green light-emitting device G is about 65 nm), this implementation increases the thickness G_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of the green light-emitting device G, that is, the length of the hole transport path, to reduce the hole transport rate, thereby balancing the transport rates of holes and electrons, making them recombine in the first light-emitting layer REML1, and ensuring the light-emitting stability of the green light-emitting device G.
[0078] In a possible implementation, as shown in FIG. 1, when the light-emitting device is a blue light-emitting device B, the thickness B_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 is between 130 nm and 170 nm. Compared with the prior art (the thickness of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of the blue light-emitting device B is about 65 nm), this implementation increases the thickness B_H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of the blue light-emitting device B, that is, the length of the hole transport path, to reduce the hole transport rate, thereby balancing the transport rates of holes and electrons, making them recombine in the first light-emitting layer REML1, and ensuring the light-emitting stability of the blue light-emitting device B.Figure 4 As shown, when the light emitting device is a green light emitting device G, the thickness G H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 is between 130 nm and 170 nm. This embodiment, compared with the prior art (the thickness of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of the green light emitting device G is about 45 nm), balances the transport rates of holes and electrons by increasing the thickness G H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of the green light emitting device G, i.e. the length of the hole transport path, to reduce the hole transport rate, so that the holes and the electrons are recombined in the first light emitting layer GEML1, thereby ensuring the light emitting stability of the green light emitting device G.
[0079] Optionally, the thickness G H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 is 130 nm, 150 nm or 170 nm.
[0080] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, when the light emitting device is a blue light emitting device B, the thickness B H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 is between 90 nm and 130 nm. This embodiment, compared with the prior art (the thickness of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of the blue light emitting device B is about 35 nm), balances the transport rates of holes and electrons by increasing the thickness B H of the first hole transport sub-unit 311 of the blue light emitting device B, i.e. the length of the hole transport path, to reduce the hole transport rate, so that the holes and the electrons are recombined in the first light emitting layer BEML1, thereby ensuring the light emitting stability of the blue light emitting device B.
[0081] In some embodiments, the first hole transport sub-unit 311 comprises at least one of a first hole injection layer HIL1, a first hole transport layer HTL1 and a first electron blocking layer EBL1.
[0082] For example, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the first hole transport sub-unit 311 comprises, in sequence from the direction away from the anode 1, a first hole injection layer HIL1, a first hole transport layer HTL1 and a first electron blocking layer EBL1. The first hole injection layer HIL1 is mainly used to improve the hole injection efficiency, thereby improving the hole transport efficiency. The first hole transport layer HTL1 is mainly used to transport the holes generated by the anode 1 or the charge generation and separation unit 4, thereby improving the hole transport efficiency. The first electron blocking layer EBL1 is mainly used to block the electrons and transport the holes.
[0083] The thickness of the first electron blocking layer EBL1 of the light emitting device of different colors can be increased respectively to balance the transport rates of holes and electrons. And / or, the thickness of the first hole transport layer HTL1 of the light emitting device of different colors can be increased respectively to balance the transport rates of holes and electrons.
[0084] For example, as shown inFigure 4 As shown, the thickness of the first hole injection layer HIL1 corresponding to the red light-emitting device R, the green light-emitting device G, and the blue light-emitting device B is the same, for example, 10 nm. The thickness of the first hole transport layer HTL1 corresponding to the red light-emitting device R, the green light-emitting device G, and the blue light-emitting device B is the same, for example, 100 nm. The thickness of the first electron blocking layer EBL1 corresponding to the red light-emitting device R, the green light-emitting device G, and the blue light-emitting device B is different. For example, the thickness of the first electron blocking layer REBL1 corresponding to the red light-emitting device R is 90 nm; the thickness of the first electron blocking layer GEBL1 corresponding to the green light-emitting device G is 40 nm; and the thickness of the first electron blocking layer BEBL1 corresponding to the blue light-emitting device B is 5 nm.
[0085] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the contact interface between the N-type doped charge generation layer N-CGL and the P-type doped charge generation layer P-CGL is the first surface. The distance from the first surface to the second surface of the first light-emitting layer EML1, which is closest to the N-type doped charge generation layer N-CGL, is denoted as the first distance L1. The first distance L1 is between 15 nm and 30 nm. This embodiment achieves a high-efficiency and stable tandem light-emitting device by adjusting the first distance L1, i.e., the length of the transmission path of the electrons generated by the charge generation and separation unit 4, to balance the transmission rate of the holes generated by the anode 1 and the transmission rate of the electrons generated by the charge generation and separation unit 4.
[0086] In a possible implementation, the first distance L1 may be adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the first electron transport subunit 312. Figure 3 or Figure 4 As shown, the first electron transport subunit 312 includes at least one first hole blocking layer HBL1. The first hole blocking layer HBL1 is mainly used to block holes, block metal ions doped in the N-type doped charge generation layer N-CGL, and transport electrons.
[0087] Specifically, the thickness of the first hole blocking layer HBL1 is between 5 nm and 10 nm.
[0088] Compared with the existing technology, this embodiment reduces the thickness of the first hole blocking layer HBL1, that is, shortens the length of the electron transmission path to increase the electron transmission rate, thereby balancing the transmission rates of holes and electrons, so that the two are combined in the first light-emitting layer EML1, and ensuring the luminous stability of the red light-emitting device R.
[0089] In another possible implementation, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the specific structure of another carrier transport subunit provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 5As shown, the first electron transport sub-unit 312 includes a first hole blocking layer HBL1 and a first electron transport layer ETL1, and the first hole blocking layer HBL1 is closer to the first light-emitting layer EML1 than the first electron transport layer ETL1. The first electron transport layer ETL1 is mainly used to transport the electrons generated by the charge generation and separation unit 4, so as to improve the electron transport efficiency.
[0090] Specifically, the thickness of the first hole blocking layer HBL1 is between 5 nm and 10 nm. The thickness of the first electron transport layer ETL1 is between 5 nm and 30 nm. By thinning the thickness of the first hole blocking layer HBL1 and / or the first electron transport layer ETL1, that is, reducing the length of the electron transport path, the electron transport rate can be improved, so as to balance the transport rates of holes and electrons, and make them recombine in the first light-emitting layer EML1, thereby ensuring the light-emitting stability of the red light-emitting device R.
[0091] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the charge generation and separation unit 4 includes an N-type doped charge generation layer N-CGL and a P-type doped charge generation layer P-CGL arranged in sequence away from the anode 1. Figure 4 As shown, the charge generation and separation unit 4 includes an N-type doped charge generation layer N-CGL and a P-type doped charge generation layer P-CGL arranged in sequence away from the anode 1; the surface of the N-type doped charge generation layer N-CGL and the P-type doped charge generation layer P-CGL in contact is a first surface; the surface of the second light-emitting layer EML2 close to the N-type doped charge generation layer N-CGL is a third surface, and the distance from the third surface to the first surface closest thereto is a second distance L2. Here, the second distance L2 can be understood as the transport distance of the holes generated by the charge generation and separation unit 4, that is, the length of the hole transport path from the starting point of generation to the second light-emitting layer EML2.
[0092] Alternatively, for the first light-emitting unit 31 away from the anode 1 side of the charge generation and separation unit 4, the distance from the surface of the first light-emitting unit 31 close to the N-type doped charge generation layer N-CGL to the first surface also represents the length of the hole transport path from the starting point of generation to the first light-emitting layer EML1. For the convenience of understanding, the present disclosure takes one first light-emitting unit 31 and one second light-emitting unit 32 as an example for illustration, and the case of multiple first light-emitting units 31 is not described herein.
[0093] The surface of the second light-emitting layer EML2 close to the cathode 2 side is a fourth surface, and the shortest distance from the fourth surface to the cathode 2 is a third distance L3, which can be understood as the transport distance of the electrons generated by the cathode 2, that is, the length of the electron transport path from the starting point of generation to the second light-emitting layer EML2.
[0094] Since the materials of the light-emitting layers of different color light-emitting devices are different, the materials of the sub-film layers in the first hole transport sub-unit 311 can be different, and therefore the hole mobility corresponding to different color light-emitting devices and the energy level difference between the film layers are different.
[0095] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, when the light emitting device is the red light emitting device R, the ratio of the second distance R_L2 to the third distance L3 is between 2 and 3.2. The present embodiment adjusts the second distance R_L2 of the hole transport path and the third distance L3 of the electron transport path in the second light emitting unit 32 corresponding to the red light emitting device R, and the ratio of the second distance R_L2 to the third distance L3 is between 2 and 3.2, so as to ensure the balance of the carrier (hole and electron) transmission in the red light emitting device R. Figure 4 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, when the light emitting device is the green light emitting device G, the ratio of the second distance G_L2 to the third distance L3 is between 1.8 and 2.8. The present embodiment adjusts the second distance G_L2 of the hole transport path and the third distance L3 of the electron transport path in the second light emitting unit 32 corresponding to the green light emitting device G, and the ratio of the second distance G_L2 to the third distance L3 is between 1.8 and 2.8, so as to ensure the balance of the carrier (hole and electron) transmission in the green light emitting device G.
[0096] Figure 4 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, when the light emitting device is the blue light emitting device B, the ratio of the second distance B_L2 to the third distance L3 is between 1.6 and 2.6. The present embodiment adjusts the second distance B_L2 of the hole transport path and the third distance L3 of the electron transport path in the second light emitting unit 32 corresponding to the blue light emitting device B, and the ratio of the second distance B_L2 to the third distance L3 is between 1.6 and 2.6, so as to ensure the balance of the carrier (hole and electron) transmission in the blue light emitting device B.
[0097] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, when the light emitting device is the red light emitting device R, the second distance R_L2 is between 80 nm and 110 nm. Compared with the prior art (the second distance of the red light emitting device R is less than 80 nm), the present embodiment increases the second distance R_L2 of the red light emitting device R, i.e. the length of the hole transport path, so as to reduce the hole transport rate, balance the hole and electron transport rates, and make them recombine in the first light emitting layer REML1, thereby ensuring the light emitting stability of the red light emitting device R. Figure 4 Optionally, the second distance R_L2 is 85 nm, 95 nm or 110 nm.
[0098] Figure 4 In a possible implementation, as shown in FIG. 10, when the light emitting device is the green light emitting device G, the second distance G_L2 is between 80 nm and 110 nm. Compared with the prior art (the second distance of the green light emitting device G is less than 80 nm), the present embodiment increases the second distance G_L2 of the green light emitting device G, i.e. the length of the hole transport path, so as to reduce the hole transport rate, balance the hole and electron transport rates, and make them recombine in the first light emitting layer REML1, thereby ensuring the light emitting stability of the green light emitting device G.
[0099] Optionally, the second distance G_L2 is 85 nm, 95 nm or 110 nm.
[0100] In a possible implementation, as shown in FIG. 11, when the light emitting device is the blue light emitting device B, the second distance B_L2 is between 80 nm and 110 nm. Compared with the prior art (the second distance of the blue light emitting device B is less than 80 nm), the present embodiment increases the second distance B_L2 of the blue light emitting device B, i.e. the length of the hole transport path, so as to reduce the hole transport rate, balance the hole and electron transport rates, and make them recombine in the first light emitting layer REML1, thereby ensuring the light emitting stability of the blue light emitting device B. Figure 4 As shown, when the light-emitting device is a green light-emitting device G, the second distance G_L2 is between 65nm and 95nm. Compared with the prior art (the second distance of the green light-emitting device G is approximately 60nm), this embodiment increases the second distance G_L2 of the green light-emitting device G, that is, the length of the hole transmission path, to reduce the hole transmission rate, thereby balancing the transmission rates of holes and electrons, allowing them to recombine in the first light-emitting layer GEML1, and ensuring the luminous stability of the green light-emitting device G.
[0101] Optionally, the second distance G_L2 is 65 nm, 85 nm or 95 nm.
[0102] In one possible implementation, Figure 4 As shown, when the light-emitting device is a blue light-emitting device B, the second distance B_L2 is between 55nm and 85nm. Compared with the prior art (the second distance of the blue light-emitting device B is approximately 50nm), this embodiment increases the second distance B_L2 of the blue light-emitting device B, that is, the length of the hole transmission path, to reduce the hole transmission rate, thereby balancing the transmission rates of holes and electrons, allowing them to recombine in the first light-emitting layer BEML1, and ensuring the luminous stability of the blue light-emitting device B.
[0103] Optionally, the second distance B_L2 is 55 nm, 70 nm or 85 nm.
[0104] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, when the light-emitting device is a red light-emitting device R, the method of increasing the second distance R_L2 of the red light-emitting device R specifically includes: the thickness of the second hole transport subunit 321 can be set between 70nm and 90nm, and the second distance R_L2 of the red light-emitting device R is increased by increasing the thickness of the second hole transport subunit 321.

[0107] In some possible implementations, the second hole transport subunit 321 includes at least one of a second hole transport layer HTL2 and a second electron blocking layer EBL2. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second hole transport subunit 321 includes a second hole transport layer HTL2 and a second electron blocking layer EBL2 arranged in sequence along the direction away from the anode 1. The second hole transport layer HTL2 is mainly used to transport holes generated by the charge generation and separation unit 4 to improve the hole transport efficiency. The second electron blocking layer EBL2 is mainly used to block electrons and transport holes. Figure 5 As shown, the second hole transport subunit 321 includes a second hole injection layer HIL2 , a second hole transport layer HTL2 , and a second electron blocking layer EBL2 , which are sequentially arranged in a direction away from the anode 1 .
[0108] The transport rates of holes and electrons can be balanced by increasing the thickness of the second electron blocking layer EBL2 of light-emitting devices of different colors. And / or, the transport rates of holes and electrons can be balanced by increasing the thickness of the second hole transport layer HTL2 of light-emitting devices of different colors.
[0109] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the thickness of the second hole transport layer HTL2 corresponding to the red light-emitting device R, the green light-emitting device G, and the blue light-emitting device B can be the same, for example, 55 nm. The thickness of the second electron blocking layer EBL2 corresponding to the red light-emitting device R, the green light-emitting device G, and the blue light-emitting device B can be different. For example, the thickness of the second electron blocking layer EBL2 corresponding to the red light-emitting device R is 30 nm; the thickness of the second electron blocking layer EBL2 corresponding to the green light-emitting device G is 20 nm; and the thickness of the second electron blocking layer EBL2 corresponding to the blue light-emitting device B is 5 nm.

The third distance L3 is between 30 nm and 50 nm. This embodiment achieves a high-efficiency and stable tandem light-emitting device by adjusting the third distance L3, that is, the length of the transmission path of the electrons generated by the cathode 2, to balance the transmission rate of the holes generated by the charge generation and separation unit 4 and the transmission rate of the electrons generated by the cathode 2.

The second electron transport sub-unit 322 comprises, in sequence from the direction away from the cathode 2, an electron injection layer EIL, an electron transport layer ETL, and a second hole blocking layer HBL2. Among them, the electron injection layer EIL is mainly used to improve the electron injection efficiency, thereby improving the electron transport efficiency. The electron transport layer ETL is mainly used to transport the electrons generated by the cathode 2, so as to improve the electron transport efficiency. The second hole blocking layer HBL2 is mainly used to block the hole electrons and transport the electrons.
